Oo, Midnight Flyer 
Engineer, Won't You Let Your Whistle Moan? 
Oo, Midnight Flyer 
I Paid My Dues And I Feel Like Trav'lin' On 

A Runaway Team Of Horses Ain't Enough To Make Me Stay 
So Throw Your Rope On Another Man 
And Pull Him Down Your Way 
Make Him Into Someone Who Can Take The Place Of Me 
Make Him Every Kind Of Fool You Wanted Me To Be 

Oo, Midnight Flyer 
Engineer, Won't You Let Your Whistle Moan? 
Oo, Midnight Flyer 
I Paid My Dues And I Feel Like Trav'lin' On 

Maybe I'll Go To Santa Fe, Maybe San Antone, 
Any Town Is Where I'm Bound Any Way To Get Me Gone 
Don't Think About Me, Never Let Me Cross Your Mind 
'Cept When You Hear That Midnight Lonesome Whistle Whine 

Oo, Midnight Flyer 
Engineer, Won't You Let Your Whistle Moan? 
Oo, Midnight Flyer 
I Paid My Dues And I Feel Like Trav'lin' On

Oração De São Francisco
Composer(s): Padre Irala
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Senhor, fazei-me instrumento de vossa paz
Onde houver ódio que eu leve o amor
Onde houver ofensa que eu leve o perdão
Onde houver discórdia que eu leve união
Onde houver dúvida que eu leve a fé
Onde houver erro que eu leve a verdade
Onde houver desespero que eu leve a esperança
Onde houver tristeza que eu leve alegria
Onde houver trevas que eu leve a luz

Oh! Mestre, fazei que eu procure mais
Consolar que ser consolado
Compreender que ser compreendido
Amar que ser amado
Pois é dando que se recebe
É perdoando que se é perdoado
E é morrendo que se vive
Para a vida eterna

Midnight Cruiser
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Originally performed by: Steely Dan



Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

Ora Che Sei Gia' Una Donna
Composer(s): Mogol; Pattacini
Performer(s): Bobby Solo



Ora che sei
sei già una donna
tu non hai più bosogno di me
Tu mi guardi come se fossi
solo un amico e niente di più

Ora che sei
sei già una donna
tu non hai più bisogno di me
Mi sorridi
come a un amico
un vecchio amico e nulla più

Midnight Cowboy
Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Jack Gold
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

Once his hopes were high as the sky
Once a dream was easy to buy
Soon his eager fingers are burned
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned

Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end

(Midnight cowboy, midnight cowboy)
(He's a lonesome midnight cowboy)

Hearts are made for caring
Life is made for sharing

Love is all that's left in the end
Love can turn the tide for a friend
Love can hold a dream together

Love is all

Opzij
Composer(s): Herman van Veen; Erik van der Wurff
Performer(s): Herman van Veen



Opzij opzij opzij, maak plaats maak plaats maak plaats 
Wij hebben ongelofelijke haast 
Opzij opzij opzij, want wij zijn haast te laat 
We hebben maar een paar minuten tijd 

We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan 
We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven 
Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen 
En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet 
Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten 
Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed 

We moeten rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer doorgaan 
We kunnen nu niet blijven, we kunnen nu niet langer blijven 
Een andere keer misschien, dan blijven we wel slapen 
En kunnen dan misschien als het echt moet 
Wat over koetjes, voetbal en de lotto praten 
Nou dag tot ziens, adieu het gaat je goed

Midnight Confessions
Composer(s): The Grass Roots
Originally performed by: The Grass Roots



The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you're near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you

But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
I'm wasting my time

In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
Na na-na na na na na-na
Na na-na na na na na-na

Opus One
Composer(s): Sid Garris; Sy Oliver
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Oh! baby, I'm rackin' my brain, to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing

The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swingin' today

So we call it Opus One, it's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
Opus One, it's got to swing, not sway, baby

If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you get near Opus One

Midnight Bus
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk
and various other artists



Me and my baby, we got on the midnight bus
Pulled out of Durham and left in a cloud of dust
Headed for the border of North and South Caroline
This time tomorrow she'll be mine

After we had ridden for a while on the midnight bus
We fell out and had an awful fuss
Said goodbye, I pulled the buzzer chord
I got off and the driver slammed the door

Standin' in the highway, holdin' my suitcase tight
Watching that midnight bus pull out of sight
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone

Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus
Left and lost my baby on the midnight bus
She's gone, my baby's gone and I'm alone

Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me)
Composer(s): Sandy Linzer; Denny Randell
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons



I can see
There ain't no room for me
You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy
If there's another man
Then girl I understand 
Go on and take his hand
And don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be blue
And I'll be cryin' too
But girl you know I only want what's best for you
What good is all my pride
If our true love has died 
Go on and be his bride
And don't you worry 'bout me

I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when you're gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me 
Ooo-oo
Baby
Sweetie pie
Before you say goodbye
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry
Don't cry alone in pain
Don't ever feel ashamed 
If you want me again
Just don't you worry 'bout me
I love you
No matter what you do
I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too
And if this is goodbye
You know I'd rather die
Than let you see me cry 
'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me

I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew 
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me 
I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew 
But somehow I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me

Midnight Blue
Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager; Melissa Manchester
Originally performed by: Melissa Manchester
Covered by various other artists



Whatever it is, it'll keep 'til the morning
Haven't we both got better things to do? 
Midnight Blue
Even though simple things become rough
Haven't we had enough? 

And I think we can make it 
One more time 
If we try... 
One more time for all the old times

For all of the times you told me you need me
Needing me now is something I could use
Midnight Blue. 
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? 
Maybe it's not the end

And I think we can make it 
One more time 
If we try... 
One more time for all the old times

Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend?
Think of me as your friend

I think we can make it 
If we try
Looks like we can make it 
If we try... 

Repeat

Optimistic
Composer(s): Aubrey Freeman
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



How long is the river?
How deep is the sea?
How long is forever?
That's how long you'll love me

My heart is beating fast
I found true love at last
I'm so optimistic
I know this new love will last

How high is the mountain?
How far out of space?
How long could I hold you
in a lover's embrace?

Until the end of time
A love that's so divine
I'm so optimistic about
this new love of mine

Midnight Avenue
Performer(s): The Sutherland Brothers Band



In the midnight avenue
That's when you think of what's to do
Decide it's best to use more force
But then it never works out of course

All the things you look upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue

On a windswept open beach
The kind that's always out of reach
To meet an ocean where it ends
The old eternal poet's friend

Make your peace with what you will
Your life depends upon your skill
In keeping lovers at your call
And sharing each with one and all
In the midnight avenue

If your spirit flies away
And they tell you it's gone to stay
Will you die and call it a day
Or will you live a different way

When the crystals smash your brain
Will you think of love, oh yeah
Will you think of paradise
Will you hope it turns out nice
In the midnight avenue

Got a Chopin crazy black
That took a sleigh ride, oh yeah
Gone in the asteroid, oh yeah

All the things you've looked upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue

Öppna Landskap
English Title: Open Landscapes
Composer(s): Ulf Lundell
Performer(s): Ulf Lundell



Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap,nära havet vill jag bo
några månader om året, så att själen kan få ro
Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, där vindarna får fart
Där lärkorna slår högt i skyn, och sjunger underbart
Där bränner jag mitt brännvin själv, och kryddar med Johannesört
och dricker det med välbehag, till sill och hembakt vört
Jag trivs bäst i öppna landskap, nära havet vill jag bo

Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ
ingen kommer in i min närhet, som stänger in och stjäl
Jag trivs bäst när dagen bräcker, och fälten fylls av ljus
när tuppar gal på avstånd, när det är långt till närmsta hus
Men ändå så pass nära, att en tyst och stilla natt
när man sitter under stjärnorna, kan höra festens skratt
Jag trivs bäst i fred och frihet, för både kropp och själ

Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri
när stranden fylls med snäckskal, med havsmusik uti
När det klara och det enkla, får råda som det vill
när ja, är ja, och nej, är nej,och tvivlet tiger still
Då binder jag en krans av löv, och lägger den runt närmaste sten
där runor ristats för vår skull, nån gång för länge sen
Jag trivs bäst när havet svallar, och måsarna ger skri

Midnight At The Oasis 
Composer(s): David Nichtern
Originally performed by: Maria Muldaur



Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon 
Shining just for us 
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon 
Kick up a little dust 

Oh, Cactus is our friend 
He'll point out the way 
Come on 'til the evening ends 
'Til the evening ends 

You don't have to answer 
There's no need to speak 
I'll be your belly dancer, [romancer] 
And you can be my sheik 

I know your daddy's a sultan 
A nomad known to all 
With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him 
Jump at his beck and call 

But you won't need no harem, honey 
When I'm by your side 
And you won't need no camel, oh no 
When I take you for a ride 

Oh, Cactus is our friend 
He'll point out the way 
Come on 'til the evening ends 
'Til the evening ends 

Midnight at the oasis 
Send your camel to bed 
Shadows painting our faces 
Traces of romance in our heads

Opium
Composer(s): Charlys; Guy D'Abzac
Performer(s): Jacques Dutronc



Dans le port de Saïgon gong
Est une jonque chinoise
Mystérieuse et sournoise
Dont on ne sait pas le nom

Et le soir dans l'entrepont
Quand la nuit se fait complice
Les Européens se glissent
Cherchant des coussins profonds

Opium ! Poison de rêve
Fumée qui monte au ciel
C'est toi qui nous élève
Aux paradis artificiels

Je vois le doux visage
Les yeux de mon aimée
Par toi j'ai son image
Dans ton nuage, fumée

A l'abri du demi-jour
Les lanternes qui se voilent
Sont de petites étoiles
Qui pâlissent tour à tour

Dans le soir au parfum lourd
Au gré de la fumée lente
Le fumeur se représente
Les plus beaux rêves d'amour

Puisqu'on dit que le bonheur
N'existe pas sur la terre
Que l'aile de mes chimères
Puisse nous conduire ailleurs

Au paradis enchanteur
Plein de merveilleux mensonges
Dans l'ivresse de mes songes
J'ai laissé prendre mon cœur

Midnight
Composer(s): Paul Anka

Midnight
is for lovers

so let's Ispoon
beneath the moon

the silvery moon
a up a high

midnight
we'll be together
At lover's lane
we'll kiss again

and then again
at midnight
You hold my hand
and you drive me insane

you're burning up my heart
and you tickle my brain

your eyes are blue
your lips are red
The old hootie owl way
up in a tree

is taking a peek at
you and me

I don't care what it can see

Opinion Publique
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Son histoire a commencé
Par marcher derrière son dos
Et rentrer dans les cafés
En parlant à demi-mots
Et, pendant qu'il buvait
Son histoire s'en allait
En laissant comme pourboire
Des "on dit" sur les comptoirs...

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
A fait ceci, a fait cela...
Et qu'il a dit ça...

Les maisons de sa ville
Ont les yeux de rideaux
Blancs regards qui le filent
Et se clouent dans son dos
C'est la ronde assassine
Qui l'étouffe et l'efface
Met son cœur en vitrine
Et son nom sur la glace

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
A fait ceci, a fait celà...
Et qu'il a dit ça...
Non! Il a dit ça?
Oui, il a dit ça!

Et le monde l'a couché
Dans le lit des malfaisants
L'a bordé d'un débauché
D'un tricheur, d'un impuissant
Son histoire continue
A parler dans les rues
Lui fabrique une vie
Qu'on affiche à la mairie...

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
A fait ceci, a fait cela...
Et qu'il a dit ça...

Un couteau de méfiance
Est planté parce que
On l'achève en silence
Avec des "parce que"
En quatre, on découpe
On le pend sur la place
On le brûle, on le coupe
En morceaux de grimaces...

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
A fait ceci, a fait cela
Et qu'il a dit ça...
Non! Il a dit ça?
Oui, il a dit ça!

Mais c'est dur à supporter
Un salaud préfabriqué
Qu'on habille de votre peau
Et qui porte vos chapeaux
Un beau jour, il s'est mis
Au milieu des "on dit"
Sur la place du marché
De sa ville endimanchée

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
Il a crié: "Mais c'est pas vrai !"
C'est pas vrai! C'est pas vrai !

Ils ont fait la pirouette
Et, la main dans la main
Leur esprit de girouette
A changé de refrain
Ils avaient un coupable
Ils en font un mécène
Le voilà formidable
Mais les mots sont les mêmes 

On dit qu'il a...
On dit qu'il est...
On dit qu'il a fait...
A fait ceci, a fait cela...
Et qu'il a dit ça...
Non! Il a dit ça? Oui, il a dit ça!
Il a dit ça, il a dit ça, il a dit ça
Il a dit ça, il a dit ça, il a dit ça
Il a dit ça...
Oui, il a dit ça!
Non!!! Oui!...

I'm sittin' on the station Gar du Nord
I'm waitin' for a train that never comes
For me there is no future and no past
I only think about the days we had

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to see my baby
Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey
Waitin' for a time to spend my money now

Revien, cherie, quand tu m'aimes
I want to lead you in my loneliness
The rain is fallin' and the leaves are fallin' down
And so I wait to see you here around

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to see my baby
Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey
Waitin' for a time to spend my money now

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to see my baby
Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey
Waitin' for a time to spend my money

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to see my baby
Waitin' for a time to see my baby
Waitin' for a time to kiss my lady now

Waiting 'till midnight
Waitin' for a time to kiss my honey
Waitin' for a time to spend my money now

I'm sittin' on the station Gar du Nord

Ophélie
Composer(s): J. Goldbird; C. Juwens; P. Loiseau
Performer(s): Dave



Elle se croyait toute seule près de l'eau
quand soudain je l'ai vu se pencher un peu trop
Devinant qu'elle voulait noyer son chagrin
je n'ai pu m'empêcher de lui crier de loin

Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi
Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie
dit bonjour à l'amour
sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes

Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi
Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie
dit bonjour à l'amour
sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes

Elle a essuyé les larmes de ses joues
et soudain sur la Terre, il n'y avait que nous
Que m'importe son prénom puisque aujourd'hui
c'est toujours Ophélie qui fait chanter ma vie

Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi
Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie
dit bonjour à l'amour
sèche tes larmes, sèche tes larmes

Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
Ophélie, Ophélie, pense à moi
Dire adieu à la vie serait une folie
Ophélie, Ophélie, moi je t'aime
